How much is the camp tuition?
All campers get at Band Photo shoot...just like real rockstars!
Girls Rock Charlotte wants all girls and families to enjoy this amazing experience. The tuition for Girls Rock Charlotte summer camps is on a self-reporting, sliding scale from $450 - $350 using the suggested federal guidelines for a family of 4.
A sliding scale is a tool to ensure folks have equitable access to experiences like our Summer Camp, regardless of financial resources. We ask for your active participation in deciding your contribution. If a sliding scale is implemented effectively, everyone pays a similar percentage of their income for tuition. While we are a small organization, we make sliding scale a priority because we acknowledge that we live in a world of differing privileges and income disparities.
We understand that for various reasons not every family can afford to pay the full tuition range, so we have created a range of reduced tuition amounts that makes this amazing opportunity available to everyone. Please consider your family income, resources and dependents when in the household when determining your requested tuition amount. We can also provide lunch for campers and light rail tickets as well, if requested.

Does my camper need musical or film experience or their own instrument and gear?
Campers get band coaching from musicians.
|
Musical experience for the music camp is not required. In fact, most of our campers have never played an instrument before coming to our summer camp their first year! Film experience for the film camp is also not required. We feature "accessible technology" (ie. smart phones, tablets and laptops) so that your camper can make their own films when they are done!
We will provide each camper with all the instruments and gear they will need. Campers are also welcome to bring their own instrument. Please note that Girls Rock Charlotte is not responsible for any loss or damage to the camper's own instrument or gear. |
What is the time commitment and what does the summer camp tuition provide?Our summer camp tuition provides full-day programming and instruction Monday through Friday from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm along with a required Saturday evening show. We offer optional early drop-off and late pick-up. Your camper will be an important part of the band or crew. Their team will need them there for the big show! All music equipment is provided by GRC.
Teens in the Film Camp will attend 5 full days and part of Saturday to work to finalize their films in advance of their big show that evening! Our tuition also provides all camp craft supplies, one t-shirt for a DIY workshop and surprise treats! Campers are asked to provide their own lunch due to health concerns and food allergy issues. |
Campers do a DIY Tshirt workshop and some bands make their Ts for the concert.
